Are you Ugly? Stupid? Crazy? Friendless? Lonely? Addicted? Poor? Depressed? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1106916 United States 08/18/2012 10:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you Ugly? Stupid? Crazy? Friendless? Lonely? Addicted? Poor? Depressed? Have you ever been told that you're just not good enough? You're not handsome or pretty enough? You're not smart enough? You're not rich enough? You're not popular, funny, thin, beautiful, educated.......and the list goes on? Do you feel like an outcast of society?
Do you ever feel like you're not lovable, or worth much at all because the world tells you that?
Let's look at some famous biblical characters and see if they were perfect.
Noah was drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Joseph was abused Moses had a stuttering problem Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womanizer Rahab was a prostitute Jeremiah and Timothy were too young David had an affair and was a murderer Elijah was suicidal Isaiah preached naked Jonah ran from God Naomi was a widow Job went bankrupt Peter denied Christ The Disciples fell asleep while praying Martha worried about everything The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once Zaccheus was too small Paul was a murderer Timothy had an ulcer..AND Lazarus was dead!
________________________________
Let's look at Jesus and some the people that He hung out with, the people that He choose as His friends.
Jesus- carpenter Andrew - fisherman Paul - tent maker Peter- fisherman John - fisherman James - fisherman Matthew - tax collector Mary Magdelene - demon possessed woman
________________________________
Let's look at how the world would view Him. He was homeless, penniless, not so good looking, radical, called insane and demon possessed, uneducated, hated, spit on and called names, and He probably would be called a conspiracy theorist to top it all off. He was viewed as such a threat to the ones in power back then, that they actually killed Him.
By today's standards, He would be considered the bottom of the barrel. Yea, God in the flesh would have been considered a looser too by the people in the world that think they really got it going on.
___________________________________
Now let's look at what Jesus taught.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Notice that Jesus didn't say "Blessed are you that workout at the gym 7 days a week. Blessed are you that drive a BMW. Blessed are you that have a 5 bedroom 3 bath house, blessed are you that graduated from Harvard. Blessed are you that wear size 2 dress and blessed are you that have 28141 friends on facebook."
No, His message was quite different then that. It was a message of what's in your heart & how you treat others.
_______________________________________
Now here's the best news of all: Jesus loves you, even though the world tells you that you're not lovable. Jesus tells you that you're worth it, even though the world doesn't think so. Jesus tells you that you are wonderfully made, even tho the world tells you that you're not quite good enough. He wants you to be part of His Kingdom, yea He thinks you're worth it, warts and all!

Jesus was the son of a rich man. He came from a preistly order, who held power and wealth. The apostles were also influencial and educated.
nice idea though OP. but Jesus was somebody, that's what made him dangerous. |

You have a home waiting for you.

It is not always what it seems. Often the Love is hiding on the inside. That is why we must open people up through the heart and soul. |

It's funny, many of the so-called "Christians" are the absolute worst about spitting on people who they deem as beneath them. They wear their religion on their sleeve to judge and hate others.
Many of my co-workers are "Christians" and yet they treat everyone around them like garbage, yelling and belittling others. All they care about is the new McMansion, their Ipads, BMW/Mercedes, and a bunch of other superficial garbage.
I agree with the OP that Jesus's true message is about treating others properly and loving others just as God loves His children (all of us). Too bad most Christians are "Christians in name only." They just go to Church because it is socially acceptable to their friends/family. They could care less about God's message.
How many "Christians" do you know who have actually read the Bible and follow its teachings in their daily lives? |

So many today express the idea that they know the mind of God.....but I think they are wrong. Who are you to express such a thing? Because you think so....rotflmao
God is an ephemeral concept....he is much more clever than we will ever be capable of comprehending. I Like to think he is always watching......and shaking his head...yet he still loves us.
I don't pretend to know the mind of a supreme being that is so far beyond us that we will prob never understand....but I do believe it does care. The powers that drive this world know exactly what is going to happen...it was outlined ages ago.
So go ahead...ignore the signs....it's fine......the mighty spirit still loves you...even when your means of worship have fallen completely away...best wishes
Nothing happens without a reason....if it is our time to go....embrace it....enjoy it.....we shall live in one form or another.....only God knows where we go from here... |

Thanks for sharing, much love in jesus name :) “It would never come into their heads to fabricate such colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there must be some other explanation.” -Adolf Hitler 1925 ___________ Thread: Understanding our SOVEREIGNTY & REPUBLIC <--- Must watch [2 videos] ___________ “The principle object of their directorate consists in this: To debilitate the public mind by criticism; To lead it away from serious reflections calculated to arouse resistance; To distract the forces of the mind towards a sham fight of empty eloquence.” -The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion |
